title: Tetraammine(carbonato-κ(2) O,O')cobalt(III) perchlorate.
abstract: In the title complex, [Co(CO3)(NH3)4]ClO4, both the cation and anion lie on a mirror plane. The Co(III) ion is coordinated by two NH3 ligands and a chelating carbonato ligand in the equatorial sites and by two NH3 groups in the axial sites, forming a distorted octa-hedral geometry. In the crystal, N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the anions and cations, forming a three-dimensional network.
